It is one item that is sure to keep you looking stylish practically for the rest of your life.

    YSL Total Private Access

    Saint Laurent is the latest big brand to offer customers big savings. Some retailers will sell discounted Saint Laurent merchandise openly but for now, most sales are hidden behind VIP links. We gathered all the YSL deals in one place so that fans can have their fix and easily shop for the best of the best.

    YSL Private Sale link
    Ok. Here is the YSL boutique private sale link. The problem is that unless you got an email invitation you won’t see the discounted prices. I suggest you use this as a reference guide when shopping.

    Saks Fifth Avenue
    The entire private YSL selection can be found here. To see the discounts, use the code SAKSSALE at checkout. The discounts range from 30% to 40% off and the selection is a little more expansive than some other retailers.

    Neiman Marcus
    If you’re looking for the best selection (beyond animal prints) this is where you’re going to want to browse. Prices are up to 40% off. We love all the tweeds and hearts. We know you will too.

    Cettire
    The markdowns on some items might not be as high on Cettire but the selection is much fresher. Most of the merchandise is priced off of the euro or pound, so be sure to compare what you buy to US retail. In many cases you’ll find savings of about 30% off.

    Nordstrom:
    The selection is discounted 40% and consists of mainly animal print bags and some shoes. There are a few items of clothing worth browsing but, overall, not the most stellar selection.

    Ssense
    You are going to need to have an eye like a hawk with a robust working memory of YSL prices to snag these deals. The items aren’t actually marked down or reduced. The retail prices have just been lowered. For instance, this YSL tote is normally $1390 but is silently reduced to $1190. Haute Pursuit is really helpful in situations such as this.

    Chloe Private Sale Access

    We’ve talked about how brands are coordinating their markdowns across retailers. Last week, we witnessed Balenciaga taking a bow at markdowns. This week, Chloe is the latest big brand to offer customers big savings. Some retailers sell discounted designer merchandise openly but others have started to hide the deals behind a VIP link. We gathered all the Chloe deals in one place so that fans can have their fix and easily shop for the best of the best.

    Mytheresa: The sale is hidden in this private sale link. Discounts range from 20-40% off. The bag selection is better than most retailers. I don’t know anyone who would mind a little “Kiss“. (Here it is in white too.)  The markdowns run through December 1 and then the sale goes public.

    Net-A-P0rter
    Discounts range from 30% to 50% off. This silk scarf makes a great gift. These classic sunglasses are 50% off and this sweater has some great detail that makes it more interesting than “just a sweater.”

    Saks Fifth Avenue
    The discounts at Saks aren’t the best across the board but you will find the most savings on Chloe shoes and sandals. If you can find your size we suggest you snag them asap. Even if you’re not going on vacation this winter it never hurts to have a great new pair of sandals in your back pocket.

    Ssense
    You won’t always find the best prices at Ssense but you will always see items that are different than other retailers. You always have to keep an eye open there. Prices change quickly and sometimes the sale items don’t even come up as a markdown. You’ll just discover that they are a lot less money.

    Thanksgiving: Online Sales to Feast On

    There’s no better way to digest your turkey than to surf the web shopping. We usually acknowledge Black Friday as most hyped shopping day of the season, but this season seems to be better than most. As retailers have taken to phasing in brands to the discounting season, there seems to always be something good to buy.

    Specifically right now, you can find attractive discounts on Balenciaga, The Row, and Burberry. Expect to see a lot more designers added to sale sections starting on December 1. For now, we have our favorite Black Friday sales below are retailers worth keeping an eye on. You can bet that the deals and the selection will continue to increase.

    Net-A-Porter
    Historically, NAP started it’s sale on the Thanksgiving afternoon. The big sale started earlier this week but we anticipate that more designer merchandise will be added over the shopping week. Right now, you can save an additional 15% off with the code BLACKFRIDAY, Click here to see all the best that’s on sale at NAP.

    Saks Fifth Avenue
    There are so many promotions at Saks Fifth Avenue that it’s starting to feel like Macy’s. It’s confusing but worth sorting out because the deals are actually really good. It’s worth noting that there might <wink> be an additional flash sale savings. It’s worth highlighting that S Max Mara, Carolina Herrera, Balmain, Chloe, Lafayette 148 will be added to the sale selection starting on Saturday. Right now, all beauty is 15% off, which means it’s time to load up on your Baccarat fragrance and La Mer creams. Click here to see all the best Saks deals that are available now.

    Ssense
    Can’t exactly put our finger on why but Ssense has disrupted the online shopping ecosystem. Many think it’s the fancy collaborations or editorial style but I just think it’s as simple as listing all the designers in once column that makes the shopping experience different. It’s a throwback to the ease of Craig’s List. There is a reason why some things just work. Ssense sales have a an interesting style with its ‘Private Sale’ exclusiveness. It’s also peculiar how things are added to the sale and so quickly removed. You can click here to see and read more about the Ssense sale.

    Shopbop
    When I need more everyday wear I look to Shopbop. Right now you can save an additional 15-30% off with the code HOLIDAY. The extra discount code is valid through Saturday.

    Coming Soon: Chanel Winter Markdowns

    Chanel is one of the hardest brands to track during the markdown season. The company is secretive and riddled with rules that are always changing. We have come to learn that this season, Chanel’s bi-annual sale will open to the public on December 2.

    The Chanel sale is be comprised of past-season merchandise with a discount of 40% off. This season, the sale selection will consist of 20A and 20B collections. The sale doesn’t include any bags or leather goods. Shoppers can expect to find discounts on shoes, jewelry, scarves, and various small accessories.

    Unfortunately, I cannot share the contact information of salespeople at various stores. Any time I do, their jobs are threatened. Feel free to search the blog for contacts I’ve used in prior “Chanel Private Sale” posts.

    Below are examples of some of the items included in this season’s markdown. We will continue to add more photos as they become available. Sale pictures can be anonymously sent to lila@madisonavespy.wpengine.com.
